A process to separate insoluble solid portions from soluble liquid materials of fruits with increased performance and yield using a press (7) wherein water, is first supplied to a mill for crushing the fruit. The soluble materials are then separated from the solid portions as juice in the press (7).

The soluble materials are then separated from the solid portions as juice in the press (7). The relationship between water feed and fruit feed can be controlled by a of microprocessor (22). An apparatus for carrying out this process is also disclosed.

A process for the separation of soluble substances from insoluble solid portions in an agglomeration of partially crushed cells of fruit, comprising the steps: of: crushing in a mill a fruit from which juice is to be obtained to form an agglomeration of at least partially crushed cells of the fruit;

A process for the separation of soluble substances from insoluble solid portions in an agglomeration of partially crushed cells of fruit, comprising the steps: of: crushing in a mill a fruit from which juice is to be obtained to form an agglomeration of at least partially crushed cells of the fruit; supplying a solvent to the mill to at least the agglomeration of the partially crushed cells of fruit to increase the yield of juice separated from he insoluble solid portions of the crushed fruit, to the order of 90% by weight of the amount of supplied cell agglomerations, the solvent comprising a liquid selected from the group consisting of water, alcohol or hydrochloric acid; and passing the mixture of partially crushed cell agglomeration and solvent through one of a press, centrifuge or decanter to separate the liquid portion of the mixture from the solid portions therein.
